I believe I will follow the approach of constructing a JDOM document 
form the sax events. However, I am new to jdom, and couldn't find any 
useful or related tutorial or code that will help me do this. I need to 
create a JDOM from within a SAX filter, or implement this logic as a filter.

can anyone help?
